gosh - that sounds painful. Hope you are ok.
On the subject of symptoms, imaginary or otherwise... my husband had a hangover on Saturday and we worked out that he had 5 of the standard 7 pregnancy symptoms |

Hi girls! It's been a couple of days since i posted.... DH has needed our internet connection for his work.... doesn't he get it that i need Bellybelly more than he needs to work???
So hope you are all hanging in there! Sharon1977 - i see you're also on pessaries... they are not fun hey! Actually, today and yesterday, after i've used the pessaries, i've had a discouloured discharge... just hoping this may be because of the pessaries starting to cause a little irritation, and not the start of spotting. Have you experienced this? During the rest of the day, there isn't any discoloured spotting, so hope it's just the pessaries! Springvalley, misslondon, littlemissmoo, krikkit, sammiejam my thoughts are with you all! How are you all feeling? Isn't it just two weeks of feeling like you're holding your breath? Thats how i feel, like i'm tip toeing around, hoping that the little emby sticks so tight! Esperan are you still with us? Haven't heard from you for a while. Hope all is okay
I've only had one moment where my (.)(.) were tingly and sensitive, and since then, nothing.... not a thing! And i'm still being stubborn and havn't even bought a poas. BT friday, so will be nervous all day! Acupuncture tomorrow (thurs), so my acupuncturist may even be able to pick something up on my pulse.... so will probably be nervous tomorrow too
Goodluck girls!

Hi guys, hope all is well...
A big fat good luck to all you who are near your BT date.
lITTLEMISSMOO and SHARON1977, your TWW is nearly over good luck for BFP
THERESEP i too have been using pessaries, and at times have had a lil coloured discharge, my nurse assures me that this is ok, so try not to worry too much about it, even though i know it's almost impossible not to worry about each and every little thing that happens to you...
AFM, well i have a HPT addiction for sure, I did another one, but this time it was a BFN.. grrr, so yeah I'm not too sure what to think now... It still feels like Saturday is forever away.. I'm sure that come Thursday ill buy another one and try once again.
They need to stick a pic up of me around all the local shops with a big sign stating not to ever sell preg tests to this lady...
Once again good luck to all of you in this dreaded TWW

Hi Ladies,
I'm doing opks as the moment and waiting for the LH surge so I can go for my fifth FET. I *should* get the surge tomorrow, which is CD15, and FET should be on Sunday, but we'll see if that's what my body thinks as well. Then I'll be back in the TWW with you.
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I hope those about to test are doing okay - the hardest part is the last week. From the outside looking in (ie. not being in the TWW at the moment, so having some clarity about the whole thing) HPTs are really evil, and I am annoyed with myself for using them all the time, because they do my head in. Will try and stay clear of them this time around - although I appear to be lucky because AF usually arrives around the time I'm feeling like poas. Lucky or unlucky, not sure about that one
I've been reading your recent posts and can say:
Sammiejam, I feel for you and your painful EPU. And by far the most pain I've had in my bbs was the 10 days after my Pregnyl trigger shot. It was like daggers from the inside of my nipples. Ow! I hope you're recovering okay.
Will be thinking of you all for your BTs this week - GL. And I'll see some of you in here later this week perhaps.
Seph

Good Morning everyone
Sharon1977 - This time around I've only had to go to the clinic once when I was due a scan. I live in Mandurah so go to R'Ham for my blood tests rather than drive all the way to Perth
SpringValley - I'm with you in having my mug shot stuck up at local shops & chemists with a big sign saying - DO NOT SELL TO THIS WOMAN SHE HAS AN ADDDICTION!
Theresep - I wouldn't worry too much about 'symptoms' When I got my BFP I had no symptoms at all. I never had morning sickness or sore boobs for the whole of the pregnancy
LondonMiss - It's funny to think if blokes could be pregnant, they suffer enough with 'manflu' imagine what they would be like!!
Sammiejam - So sorry to hear about your EPU it's not nice at any rate let alone if they had to manipulate your insides
Trubabe - How did your blood test go??
AFM - Still no AF but cramping is still there, no other symptoms to report but as I said I didn't have any last time either. Only one more day to go, I've got a nice bottle chilling in the fridge so if it is confirmed as BFN I can enjoy a BIG glass!!

what I'd really like is a charity to produce POAS, then I'd feel less bad about buying them rather than supporting big pharma's with my addiction
.................up at 6.29 with barking puppy, did a POAS, forgot about it and fed dog, came back - mid pink line - not as dark as the test one, but not faint either. Before I start planning how I'm going to announce it, the name(s), Godparents and so on, do we think this might be good news or am hallucinating brought on by hysteria? |

Thanks S! I am terrified I did it wrong and I'm going to be crushed if I'm not now... Roll on Friday and a blood test. DH refusing to buy flowers until then : )
I'm not tech literate enough to do babydust, but sprinkles of the stuff all around ladies.

Well, if you peed ... on the stick... and left it alone to change colour... and it did... a stronger + showed up...
CHANCES ARE YOU DID IT RIGHT! lol
Cant remember if your crinone or pregnal so, if your on crinone - it doesnt affect poas test, pregnal will stay in the body for up to a week at the longest but the + gets weaker not STRONGER so
YEEHAAA! Things are looking good!
Can you tell Im livin' vicariously right now? |

I told DH that I thought I had good news (he knew I was doing a test this am as I left it on the loo as a reminder last night) and you know what he thought my good news was? "Has your cough stopped at last?"  well, he was asleep at the time I suppose
I was so excited this morning, I must stop reading things on the internet to make me doubt it... sometimes too much information is a very bad thing. Mum's always telling me that your body wants you to get pregnant not the other way round... I must remember this!
Good luck to everyone nearing the end of a 2ww

Well, that's me out for this round, AF arrived this afternoon. Looks like I'll be enjoying a glass or two tonight!
LondonMiss - OMG OMG OMG OMG, I am so excited for you. I'll be checking in on Friday for your BT results
Hope there's some more BFP to be seen this month from everyone. Good Luck!!

littlemissmoo sorry to hear that AF has arrived... I wish you luck for next time though. Put your feet up and enjoy your drink, you definitely deserve it after all you have been through. I'll be doing the exact same thing come Saturday if my BT is a BFN |

I did another test today ( I bought a 3 pack - dont wanna waste them!)
Good news - it came back with a very faint positive. Bad news - it could still be my pregnyl 1000 dosage from early Monday morning.
I am getting very mild cramping ever now and then (sorta comes and goes) - I am wondering if its normal or if its my body fighting the pregnyl and trying to make AF arrive. CM is up a bit, but this could be anything. I am trying not to look into it too much.  why is this TWW so LONG..

Hi girls,
I must say, I'm feeling VERY proud of myself! I have not poas at all this month!!! I don't think I would deal with the positive on the stick then a negative on the blood test. Plus I'm also on pregnyl and my last one was Sun night so I think it might be still in my system.
Littlemissmoo - so sorry to hear af arrived.
Krikkit - stay positive! I read here once someone saying that you are PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise)! I loved that saying, got me through last month!
Londonmiss - how exciting for you!!!!  Can't wait to see your  on Friday!
Springvalle - good luck! Maybe just don't go to the chemist!?!?! hahaha!  Or if you like, pm me with a pic and I'll post it to them!
Sammijam - good luck and hope the tww goes quickly for you!
Think that's everyone, if I've left you off I'm sorry. Trying to cook dinner before dh gets home and fold the washing I was supposed to get done this am... oops
AFM - boobs still a little sore, slight cramping but not much, has pretty much gone now from this morning. Kind of feel sick in my tummy, but think that may be from anticipation more than anything else.
It's going to be a LONG morning between having my bt and getting the results. Dh is at work and we've also got a 3 1/2 yr old so I've arranged to go play at a friends house to keep busy. She knows what we're going through so if it's bad news she'll have a vino or two waiting in the fridge for me!!!
1 MORE SLEEP!!!!!!

| | littlemissmoo and missk - sorry to hear of your news krikkit fingers x'd!! seph hope your body cooperates, GL for sunday londonmiss ooohh very exciting for you! Congrats and fingers x'd too!!
Well, i'm not in the best frame tonight, i came home from work, and our gorgeous(!) 8mth old puppy had pulled 3 shrubs out of their pots and obviously had a marvellous time dragging them around the garden! I was so cranky with her! And now i'm cranky with myself for getting so cranky with her .... i think it's just the tww thing getting to me .... i cruise along, keeping fairly calm and then something happens and i tend to get a bit cranky  ..... deep breath, deep breath ..
think i'd better get organised and start chilling a bottle of vino too .... btw, love the PUPO (pregnant until proved otherwise)!
Oh, nearly forgot, on a positive note, i had a lovely dream last night where i was pregnant, and i had a lovely big belly! It was great, and i can recall it so vividly!
